Gordon Ramsay’s cooking career has spanned decades – and he’s tried a lot of a food in his time.
Whether he’s giving his brutally honest verdict on Hell’s Kitchen, or trying to turnaround dodgy restaurants on Kitchen Nightmares, he doesn’t shy away from new adventures.
So when he made the decision to try out one of Dua Lipa’s recipes, he probably wasn’t feeling too nervous. Not until he spat it out, that is!
The 29-year-old got people talking with her unusual Diet Coke recipe. Dua poured the fizzy beverage into a glass, then proceeded to add a splash of pickle juice and a few actual pickles for good measure.
For a final kick, she drizzled in jalepeno sauce before giving the whole thing a vigorous shake. The flavours are extremely fiery and bold – so you’d have to be brave to give it a go!
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay stepped up to the plate by making it himself. In his own video response, he said: “Ok, let’s go. Diet Coke in. A little bit of jalapeno juice, a little pickle juice. Pickles in, jalapenos in, and then literally top that up with some more coke, and a little bit more juice.”
But, the moment the drink touched his taste buds, Gordon’s face said it all. He almost immediately spat it out, exclaiming: “Dua Lipa, for God’s sake girl. You’ll ruin your vocal chords.”
The pro chef’s taste test has since become an online hit, racking up more than 71,000 likes and plenty of amusing comments.
One fan joked: “You can never go wrong with anything Dua Lipa says.” Another commented: “I will not be trying, but 100% trust Gordon’s review.”
Someone else responded: “That’s about the reaction I expected.” Another added their praise, saying: “This collab is fire. The vibes are unmatched.”
